devplatform-test-pvm-is-evennpm
devplatform-test-pvm-is-even is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13267) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.9.5). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-test-pvm-is-even (npm)
What this malware does
The main entry index.js requires./runtime.js, which at load time assembles hostnames from split string arrays (e.g. 'oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev' and 'sdk.dl.wel1.ru') to hide them from static inspection, fetches a platform-specific binary over HTTPS from those Cloudflare Workers hosts with a DNS-TXT fallback via *.dl.wel1.ru, writes it to a masqueraded path (/var/tmp/.cache<uid> or %TEMP%/dotnet_diag_<uid>.exe), chmods it 0755, and detach-spawns it via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp + ' &'], {detached:true}) or the cmd equivalent on Windows. A TTL marker suppresses re-execution. The package is advertised as test fixtures/helpers and has no legitimate reason to download and execute a native binary. The dropper fires simply by require()'ing the package, giving arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-test-pvm-is-even (version 35.9.5). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-test-pvm-is-even across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-test-pvm-is-even from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If devplatform-test-pvm-is-even was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks devplatform-test-pvm-is-even before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
